Shootings in Gotham were running at the rate of one an hour for much of the weekend, with final numbers up in the air. Upstate, 18 people were shot in Albany, two fatally, over three days; 12 hit in Syracuse, including nine at a single party; 10 in Buffalo.
Appalling? Sure. But think of it as the first fruits of criminal-justice reform.
To be sure, the Empire State wasnt unique. In Chicago, police reported 102 shootings over the Fathers Day holiday 14 fatal, including a 3-year-old boy. But you need a mechanical clicker to keep track of Chicago, so the weekend toll is likely to be higher.
Elsewhere, 11 were reported shot, with one fatality, in both Minneapolis and Detroit and bullets were flying around Philadelphia, Baltimore and most of the rest of urban America.
While each state is unique, it is fair to look at New York as a laboratory, with Albanys utterly otherworldly surrender to public-safety nihilism exacerbated by timorous, low-impact policing policies embraced at the local level.
Whether the new ways are working depends on your perspective: If the point is to keep the anarchists and activists quiet, in a cynical sort of way, they are. But if they are meant to keep citizens safe, its all an absurd charade.

At 31:30 Larry Elder tells the story beautifully and passionately here on with Tucker Carlson.
The black community lags behind basically for one major reason ..... FATHERLESS CHILDREN IN THE BLACK COMMUNITIES.
Too many black men apparently don’t give a damn.
Low or NO CHARACTER!
Too many black men can run fast, jump high, and DISAPPEAR better that anyone in this country.
Courage is something desperately missing in too many of them.
************
These fatherless black kids today have fathers who take a called third strike right down the middle of the plate and then piss and moan that the umpire was blind.
I'm 73 years old and I used to well know black communities in my city, Pittsburgh .... where the black community near me had a larger ratio of fathers than some white communities. They were proud and strong.
**********
Blacks, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MATTER ......... grow some balls and be real men WHO HANDLE RESPONSIBILITY.
